Comments About the Torrent of Leaks And Trump's Administration

I get it. Some people have become unhinged with the idea that Hillary Clinton isn't in the White House. And, some or many are so unhinged within our government that they would leak information designed to undermine Trump's legitimacy as President and his supporting cast of people in the administration.

But, here's the thing. Many of these leaks may be false; or as Trump calls it, "Fake News". The reason being that all the sources are all unnamed and unverifiable. More importantly, many of these leaks, true or false, are undermining this nation's credibility and its ability to be governed. Further, some leaks, like those regarding the Manchester attack and laptop bombs/Israel, also hurt our relationship with our allies.

The bottom line is that we have a bunch of people along with a loyal following by liberal media outlets that are so partisan they would put the Democratic Party above our nation and our government. This is disgusting. If they wanted Trump to lose, they should have used the ballot box more effectively. And, don't argue that it was the Russians that gave Trump the win. On one hand you can't say Hillary got 3 million more votes than Trump, and then somehow the Russian interference was so precise as to specifically target our Electoral College to give Trump the win. That defies logic.
